The Magic Mirror
A cosmic radiation storm approaches the planet, but Don is confident because Dr. Smith had been assigned the task of installing cosmic arrestors. However, Judy tells him she has seen them still lying on a pile of equipment. Don confronts Smith and insists he begin the job before it is too late. Meanwhile, Penny is missing and the adults fan out to find her before the storm strikes. Penny, out for a walk, has come across a large, ornate mirror. Smith finds her just as the storm strikes and they take shelter underneath, unaware that the cosmic radiation is having some effect on the mirror. After the storm has passed, John finds the pair at the mirror, but Smith insists he not investigate, saying it is only worthless trash. In fact, Smith suspects the mirror’s frame is made of platinum.
The next day, Smith sets out to strip the mirror of its platinum coating, but Don insists he finish installing the cosmic arrestors. Smith complies but quickly abandons the task. Meanwhile, Penny and Judy have gone to the mirror and have set it up to view their reflections. Smith sees them in the distance and mutters for them to get away from his mirror—it is his platinum. The girls are examining themselves in the mirror but end up quarreling over Judy's comment that Penny is not interested in the things a girl her age should be. Penny ends up very upset and both girls say things they regret. Penny tearfully insists that she will stay the way she is forever.
Later, Penny goes back to the mirror in search of Debbie who has discovered a small bell somewhere. Penny asks Debbie to show her where she found the bell, so Debbie walks to the mirror and points, but Penny doesn't understand. Soon, however, Penny falls through the mirror and finds herself in a dark, mysterious world. There she meets a nameless boy about her own age who invites her to stay and have fun. He tells her he heard what she said about staying as she was forever, and entices her by promising that if she stays with him, she will never grow up or have to change. Penny tries to leave but is unable to do so. She eventually resigns herself to her fate but she soon discovers that the boy's idea of having fun—playing hide and seek with a monster and spying on the outer world through mirrors—does not interest her at all. Penny insists on returning home, but the boy says there is no way back, even when Penny asserts there must be, for the bloop entered and returned.
Dr. Smith actually witnessed Penny enter the mirror but disbelieved his own senses, sure that he was suffering from hallucinations. Later, though, he returns to destroy the mirror, the root of his problems, but he too falls through into the other world. He refuses to believe any of what he sees is real until he is attacked by the mirror monster. He grabs a rifle and flees toward the exit. There he lets off a random shot that hits a pool of water where his image is reflected and he is able to pass through to the outer world. Penny quickly understands what happened and begs the boy to go with her as the monster approaches closer and closer. At the last second, she shoots at her own image in the pool and passes back into the real world. Left behind, the boy only says that he cannot follow her… he has no reflection. Outside the mirror, as Penny stands in horror while Smith destroys the mirror, we hear the tinkling of a bell.
Another notable feature of Marks Magic Rub is its formula, which was specially developed to erase graphite pencil marks effectively. It is designed to lift the pencil marks from the paper without leaving any residue behind. This helps to maintain the quality of the paper and prevents any smudging or smearing.

- One reviewer said that this was a b ittersweet episode of Lost in Space that has the always watchable Michael J Pollard, especially adept at portraying weirdos, guest starring as a mischievous boy who lives in a dimension on the other side of an alien mirror found by Penny. Pollard is so youthful and playful here, he really plays his part like a child stuck in the body of a young man, eternally trapped in the body of a teenager, never to grow old but longing for companionship.

- Why do Penny and Doctor Smith take shelter from an electrical storm by hiding under a large metal object?

Reviews for "Take Your Art to the Next Level with Mark's Magic Rub"
1. Samantha - 2 stars - I was really excited to try Mark's magic rub after hearing so many positive reviews. However, I found it to be quite disappointing. The flavors were too overpowering and didn't complement the meat well. The rub also left a strange aftertaste that lingered for quite some time. Unfortunately, I won't be using this rub again in the future.
2. John - 1 star - I don't understand why people rave about Mark's magic rub. I found it extremely salty, to the point where it completely overpowered the natural flavors of the meat. Additionally, the rub didn't seem to have any other distinct flavors or spices to enhance the overall taste. Overall, I was very disappointed with this product and will be looking for a different rub to use.
3. Lisa - 2 stars - I had high expectations for Mark's magic rub, but it fell short. The rub didn't add any depth or complexity to the meat, and instead tasted quite one-dimensional. I was hoping for a unique and flavorful experience, but unfortunately, this rub didn't deliver. I won't be repurchasing it in the future.
